It’s only natural that I should put coconut and popcorn together. Honestly, I’m surprised I haven’t done it before now.

For this recipe, I started with my favorite Sweet Popcorn Glaze, and added coconut in the form of coconut extract and toasted coconut.

Because toasted coconut is one of the culinary wonders of the world. How coconut can taste so great right out of the bag, and still taste infinitely better toasted is a scientific mystery.

We may never have the technology to answer this question.

I used plain air popped popcorn for this. If you are using the microwave variety, be sure you get the plain, unbuttered stuff, so that the *cough*gross*cough* powdered butter flavoring doesn’t mess with the wonders of toasted coconut.

You’ll be adding real butter anyway, and that way you can tell people you are eating healthy whole foods.
